Title: Accupuncture has been a life saver!!
Post by qtmtblond on Aug 15^th, 2002, 2:09am

My dad is a suffer of cluster headaches, he had been haveing them for about two years, we had tried almost everything, the drugs, seemed to help some, but like others I have read on this site, many of them slowed is heart down so much that they got to be too scary for him to use. We were desperate, when my mom decided that we should try accupuncture, everyone laughed in her face, thank God that he decided to try it. We have been in every Saturday for almost a year now, it hasn't completely stopped them, but it has stoped the monthly cycle, once in a while he still has one, when he does he immediatly goes down to the accupuncturist. It has been a lifesaver!!!!!!!! It has restored some normalicy to our house. I have read that it hasn't helped several people, but I just wanted to through this out there, because if you are like my family and I were, you would probably try anything! I hope that this will help someone out there!!
Blessings,

Congratulations!
We have been told to be very careful with this treatment, but we have a reliable doctor and so far so good - cycle has been halved - fingers crossed - just goes to show - everyone seems to be different, whats good for one isn't always for another, this site is great though just to get fresh ideas
Hope your Dad keeps well
